A video of Nancy Pelosi telling a protester to "go back to China" went viral, sparking criticism and accusations of racism. The confrontation took place in October 2023 and was related to the protester's ties to groups promoting the Chinese Communist Party. Pelosi's comments also came after she suggested that some Gaza cease-fire protests in the U.S. are tied to Russia, leading to blowback and accusations of delegitimizing public demonstrations. The incident has led to backlash from the Asian American community and raised concerns about anti-Asian racism.

Survey Reveals Widespread Anti-Asian Racism in Medical Field

A survey led by Yale School of Medicine reveals that Asian American medical students frequently experience racism, including slurs, racist comments, mistaken identity, and discrimination. The study found that schools often fail to address these issues, leaving students feeling unsupported. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated anti-Asian rhetoric and discrimination. Similar studies have shown that minority medical professionals, such as Black doctors, also face marginalization and bias in the workplace. The lack of support structures further compounds the pain inflicted on Asian medical students. Despite the challenges, these students continue to prioritize patient care.
